The Three Musicians: A Children's Book Inspired By Pablo Picasso

24 pp. | Prestel | September, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-3-7913-7151-1 $14.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Vanessa Hié. The Kingdom of Mirador lives in fear of a beast, encouraged by King Minus's propaganda: "one day it will come and devour your children." Three mysterious musicians arrive and help the villagers trade trepidation for fun. The storytelling is too abstract, though Hié's Picasso-inspired illustrations are appropriately so. A reproduction of the titular source painting and contextual and biographical information are appended.
